"Pop/hip-hop. Buffalo Stance is a tune and a half. Thought it might be a one-hit wonder of an album but the rest of the tracks are also decent. Second favourite track is the final track, So Here I Come." Reply

"Honestly? Better than The Top, and nearly a real album. I almost skipped this, too, but this is well worth your time if you're a a fan of The Cure." Reply
